The sheer caliber of interactive storytelling that What Remains of Edith Finch brought to the industry last year is grossly underrated. The stories were collectively told with so much melancholy, vivid imagery, respect, humour, intrigue and mystery. All of this while, as a full body of art, brilliantly answering the climactic question we all ask ourselves at some point in life: "What is the meaning of death?". It is that we should be grateful that we ever had a chance to be here and ask ourselves that question. THIS is why What Remains of Edith Finch was last year's best game.
But is it a...you know...GAME!?
Mac Tills yes. It is.
@@mactills1368 yeah it is, but the point is Edith Finch manages to get toghether mechanical innovation and powerfull narrative, both as one. Thats why i think Edith Finch deserves even more, for example Zelda only makes what its ususal, innovate into mechanics and just that, like mario odisey or DQ 11, polishing their gameplay but never taking their own stories into the gameplay perse.
there are few games that can make such a great emotional impact and this is one of them well deserved play it guys you wont be disappointing
the only haters are people who haven't even played the game
I have played it. It's a very unique and interesting game for sure, but compared to other games nominated (even not nominated) it doesn't even come close to what the other games achieved.
Maybe against Assassin's Creed: Origins but certainly not against Hellblade, BOTW, Odyssey and Horizon.
TheDuckClock Bigger isn't better...

I never said that. The other games made stronger accomplishments, not that they had more content, which is why I singled out AC:Origins
Of course! Walking simulators are the best genre of gaming
Preach it brother
A beautiful and moving experience. Also a great introduction for "non-gamers" into the modern world of art games. It accomplishes what "Dear Esther" and "Gone Home" were aiming for.
a very valid comment . well deserved game
What you have to remember is that the award is not decided by you, it’s decided by BAFTA. Games are ART and art is subject to opinion. It was in the opinion of BAFTA that What Remains Of Edith Finch was their best game of 2017. It was also my favourite out of all of the other Nominees. I felt like I had entered the memories of so many interesting characters, I also felt as though I was actually a part of the whole thing. I was completely sucked into its world and story. And that’s what a good game should do, in my opinion. Everything else about it was incredible. The voice acting was completely organic and I never felt like I was listening to an actor read lines off of a script. The soundtrack was so powerful. And the house was incredible.
Annoying how games like cod 15 get all the hype yet gems like this go unnoticed
I feel bad for anyone who hasn't played it
We need a sequel!
No, no. The story is perfect the way it is, so it's better to keep it like that.
@@ShoegazerOwl we need sequel. Now
@@pinkfloydmeddle6692 of what
@@adarshsinghpawar the game. What remains of Edith finch
@@pinkfloydmeddle6692 no I feel like we need more games that are like it
What I said on Google in 2021
Only a little over an hour in and barely know anything about the family but WOW!!!!!
And the details.
Everything is so intricate and intentional.
Designers deserve awards. Not even sure if they won any.
The game is awesome, but I understand the comments criticizing. That said, isn't it expected that bafta would focus much more on storytelling than other things to evaluate the game? It was sort of expected.
Well the point is also that Edith Finch does what otehr developers never manage to get close, combine an smart and emotional storytelling with solid and prue interaction, when you thing about this game is impossible to split apart gameplay and story, instead, games like BOTW, Hellblade or even DQ 11 used to focus at gameplay and their stories are just justifications about why we are doing what we are doing AKA combat, exploration or puzzles where you dont keep thinking about the dramatic impact of your actions, only the gameplay.
1:18 Shots fired at Nintendo.
Is it work of art
LOL at these salty nintendo weebz
From VietNam with love
Ngl I am shocked this one because one it’s not that good I’ve played it a year ago mostly blind and it left practically no impact on me, but also because botw came out that year and in almost every metric that should be goty. Nothing against the team and congrats to them for winning but not giving it to botw seems needlessly contrarian.
Well at least is good that one of the most important videogame award ceremonies gave this tittle, cause this masterpiece really deserves it. Just consider that Edith manages to do something that other games didnt even the bigger ones, combining solid gameplay with profound storytelling, something that even selda didnt got cause games like BOTW or Hellblade only shows you the story between cutscenes and even you forgot about them cause the main focus on mechanics wich makes their storytelling feel dull and confusing.
Obra maestra 👌🏻
Mmmmh... So I guess NieR:Automata was too "weird" for them too ?
It's like those lists were made by people that play video games casually and aren't really into the medium that much.
Don't get me wrong, the games features were fantastic games (for the most part..........), but it just strikes me as odd that a game like NieR:Automata (aka the game that pushed the boundaries of what a video can be and what it can achieve within the framework of the game and even beyond the game itself) didn't get an award for how good it is at being a video game that makes a case for the medium as art.
Games like Hellblade or Edith Finch are great, but nothing they did set them apart as video games, all their achievements were borrowed from other art forms. What sets those games aside from an oscar winning movie ? They don't use the medium in any way to reinforce the aesthetics or the themes.
Which isn't a bad thing per se, video game as a medium IS a mash-up of multiple art forms after all but it also has unique qualities that NieR:Automata showcased masterfuly making it the most accomplished video game I have ever played.
I just expected that an award focusing more on the art of video games would appreciate what this game achieved. Because that game is a masterclass in game design.
In fact Edith Finch takes advantage to videogame media, thats why you have different ways to interact with those different stories in their unique styles adding yo the plot. Edith Finch manages something other games never reached even when they think they're doing, mixing gameplay and storytelling making you feel each action as you get sucked into each sorry and their perception of life and death. Nier is a good Game of course and even has an interesting world, but it still plays safe using well known Game mechanics wich doesnt even have too much to do with the narrative, as any other game, at the end Niers story it's more an excuse of why you do what you do.
The only other games i can say managed in some way to mix storytelling and game at this wonderfull way are Journey and Inside, or even Guant Sparrows first gane The Unfinished Swan but in a smaller way
I think I speak for many with this response... Eh?
Nothing against the game itself but it wasn't even in the GOTY conversation for other outlets.
It was in a lot of best of lists. I think it's a great choice - it can't compete on scale with something like Breath of the Wild, but it's a bit like Moonlight beating out La La Land. Great to see a top notch, experimental, interesting indie game win the big prize.
In other categories but not so many GOTY nominations. Again, I'm just reflecting on why this has caught so many off guard.
oh it was you just haven't played it and yeah its not a typical AAA game
You are correct, It showed up on a few Top 10 countdowns, but not one site or magazine publication awarded it GOTY. The Bafta's are literally alone in their choice
gotypicks.blogspot.com/
good well deserved it should have won more GOTY
Damn over Zelda, Mario, Horizon? What a joke.
Haitham i played it and i thought it was extremely boring and forgettable
Stupidadi that's exactly what I thought of Zelda. Odyssey was fun, Horizon was amazing. But Edith Finch was an amazing experience that felt like a movie. Which is a good thing for me. The acting was good, the story had me in tears
That walking simulator has unique concept but its not even 2 hours long and it is linear, compare to other games it is a joke tha you apparently dont get.
@@pajmic666 well, there plenty of linear games wich are really well driven than the ones with open worlds, for example, Journey, its totally linear, but its amazing art and atmosphere was better than all GTA clones wich came between the 2000s
Nice joke BAFTA, i get the joke...now, who is the winner, for real!?
edith finch
seems you havent play the game, and if you have, your favorite game was CoD or Smash Bros
@@gaothhermesk1289 "Hate" anything Nintendo because of the "oudated" consoles and games for 7yo and lower (and manchilds)...and not that big fan of shooters...sure I played Destiny 2 (but only the campaign before returning the game).
Never mind the quality, feel the politics.
did you played the game? Is all about quality dude.
Have you even played the game? It has zero politics in it. I'm a conservative so many games take the piss out of me, but What remains of Edith Finch is just great in every aspect
@@BOMERdeath123 conservative gets mad at progress :0 whats new
@@xykane I'm a Conservative and it's just games that push certain views too hard. Wro. Edith Finch didn't have anything like that.
And don't forget that theres more than one kind of Conservatives. People opposing Medical Advances for example are dumbasses. People who oppose questionable social changes (wouldn't call that progression) are very much understandable.
Well this was a quick way for BAFTA to lose all of its credibility...
